We have talked about the Garmin Glo on this list. Its problem is that it has
an on/off button, which can be easily pressed and there is no easy way for a
blind person to know if it is on or off. Otherwise, it works great with the
iPhone and can work with a Sense product with some fiddling.
I just got a GNS 2000 receiver to test and it has a physical on/off switch.
I have connected it successfully with my iPhone. It has not so far connected
with the Braille Sense OnHand, Apex or PK. It appears in the Bluetooth list
but it does not connect.
Here are the details from their web site. It was $99 on Amazon.
